Chapter 510 The mastermind behind the scenes
Several beggars had already arrived outside Xin'an Lane. When they saw Jiang Qing, they were shocked.
"It's Uncle!"
A beggar took out a silver ingot and handed it to Dou Jialan, "We can't take this money."
Dou Jialan was puzzled, "Why?"
The beggar said, "All the beggars in the city know that the old man is kind. If they can't beg for food, they can come to Xin'an Lane and get steamed buns. We came here during the snowstorm last year, and each of us got two big steamed buns, white as ice."
The beggar licked his lips and said, "Without those two big buns, we would have starved to death long ago."
"Then what do you want?" Dou Jialan asked.
The beggar said, "I just want to eat that steamed bun again."
"Yes! It's white, soft and sweet."
"It's more delicious than the food I had at the restaurant last time."
"it is good."
The beggars took Jiang Qingzhi and others through a shortcut and arrived outside the tavern.
"This is it."
Two beggars were waiting outside. "Hello, sir. The woman went out earlier. Although she was in disguise, she couldn't hide it from our eyes!"
"Have you come back?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"just came back."
Jiang Qingzhi glanced around and said, "Surround them."
The guards dispersed and surrounded the tavern.
Jiang Qingzhi said, "Shitou, Mo Zhan, follow me in."
He was suddenly startled, "Mo Zhan and Sun Bu Tong, follow me in."
The door was half open, and Jiang Qingzhi gently pushed it open.
Squeak!
The three of them were sitting in the tavern and looked up when they heard the voice.
Two men were on the side, and one was on the right. Jiang Qingzhi looked at her: "Round face, small eyes, and a red mole at the corner of her mouth."
The man suddenly lifted the table towards Jiang Qingzhi.
The two men also picked up the bench and rushed over.
Jiang Qingzhi didn't move. Sun Bu Tong kicked the flying table away and Mo Zhan rushed forward with his sword drawn.
The woman screamed, "Jiang Qingzhi!"
Jiang Qingzhi put his hand on the hilt of the knife, "Jiang is here!"
The woman turned and ran.
"I want him alive!" Jiang Qingzhi walked over slowly.
Bang!
The woman kicked the back door open without even looking at it. She pushed her feet hard on the ground and avoided Mo Zhan's pursuit and knife attack. She actually made a small circle and rushed straight towards Jiang Qingzhi.
Her eyes were red and her face was ferocious. "You thief Jiang, die!"
Jiang Qingzhi stood firmly on his feet, drew out his long sword, and held the hilt with both hands.
"kill!"
He shouted loudly and swung his sword towards the female assassin.
The female assassin blocked the attack casually... It was widely rumored that Jiang Qingzhi had low martial arts skills and was protected by people like Sun Chonglou around him when he went into battle.
At this moment, there was only Sun Bu Tong by Jiang Qingzhi's side, and Sun Bu Tong was harassed by two men.
The woman was overjoyed, and then she felt her hands lighten.
The long sword was actually chopped off by Jiang Qingzhi.
The precious sword that Master Ding rewarded me with has been used for a great purpose!
The precious sword slashed across the stunned woman's forehead.
A red line extends down from the forehead...
Mo Zhan arrived behind her and kicked the woman down.
The woman fell in front of Jiang Qingzhi, and just as she was about to jump up, Jiang Qingzhi's sword was placed on her chest.
The guards rushed in and the two men were captured immediately.
"go back!"
Jiang Qingzhi put away his knife.
After returning to the Bo Mansion, Jiang Qingzhi saw Li Tian.
His heart skipped a beat. "How about the stone?"
Li Tian smiled and said, "The stone has woken up."
Jiang Qingzhi relaxed and hurried in.
"Master."
When Sun Chonglou saw him come in, he grinned and said, "I slept so soundly just now."
"Damn it, aren't you afraid that you won't wake up after sleeping for a long time?" Jiang Qingzhi cursed, then looked at the doctor.
The doctor stroked his beard and said, "As long as he wakes up, the next step is to recuperate."
The imperial doctors were somewhat embarrassed. This time they were defeated by a military doctor. If word got out of this, they would be too embarrassed to return to the palace to see anyone.
The doctor suddenly fell into deep thought. Everyone thought he was thinking of some unresolved problem, so they could not help but concentrate and wait.
Only Sun Chonglou was heartless. He actually raised his eyebrows behind Jiang Qingzhi with a provocative and smug look on his face.
Jiang Qingzhi didn't need to look back to know that Dou Jialan was behind him.
The doctor suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my! I almost forgot that there is a patient in the camp today." He bowed to the imperial doctors and said, "Recuperation is a big deal. I am not sure about it. Please help me."
Tsk!
Jiang Qingzhi thought this guy was thinking about Sun Chonglou's condition, but who knew it was actually this.
He was the one who cured the poison, and Jiang Qingzhi would only recognize him out of favor. At this time, he should raise the issue of recuperation and lower his own attitude...
It's a pity that this person doesn't become an official.
Several imperial doctors smiled and exchanged polite words with each other. One of them took the patient's pulse and said, "The patient is in good health. I think the main problem is diarrhea."
The two imperial doctors nodded at the side.
"Brother Wang is right."
Everyone carried the fancy sedan. Jiang Qingzhi gave Fucheng a look, and Fucheng took the doctor out and told the cook to prepare some good wine and food to entertain them.
Sun Bu Tong accompanied him and talked to the doctor about some interesting things in the army. After the imperial doctors finished their treatment, Jiang Qingzhi came out with them and asked, "Are there any sequelae?"
"There shouldn't be any."
Jiang Qingzhi felt relieved. Sun Chonglou was already a fool. If he became even more foolish, wouldn't he be an idiot?
"Master." Fu Cheng came over, "That female assassin..."
"Go and see."
There was a small private prison cell in the Bo's mansion, and next to it was the torture room.
The female assassin was tied to a wooden pillar, with the tendons wrapped around her at a rather seductive angle. Jiang Qingzhi saw her and asked, "Who tied her up?"
Mo Zhan said, "Sun is different."
That slutty guy!
"Who ordered this?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
The female assassin raised her head and said through gritted teeth, "Thief Jiang!"
"Who is that man to you?" Jiang Qingzhi thought of the cry of the female assassin at the assassination scene.
"My man." The female assassin struggled hard, but Sun Bu Tong's tying method seemed enchanting, but in fact there was some mystery in it. The more she struggled, the tighter the tendons became.
"Torture!"
Jiang Qingzhi walked out.
"Let's serve him!"
Fucheng walked in.
Soon, screams were heard.
"Jiang thief, you will die a horrible death!"
"Fifth brother, I failed to avenge you..."
I don’t know how long it took, but Fucheng came out.
"The man behind is Guo Ran."
"Guo Ran? Let Old Hu come." Although Jiang Qingzhi had the list of heroes in the capital given by Prince Yu, he could not remember so many names.
Hu Zongxian came and said with a smile, "When Shitou woke up, Dou Jialan was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill someone."
Fu Cheng smiled, "That boy looks lucky. The female assassin confessed that the man behind her is called Guo Ran."
"Guo Ran..." Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment, as if he had clicked a document in the future. "Guo Ran's ancestors were civil servants, but his father's generation was a little lacking in stamina and was only a deputy minister. When it came to Guo Ran, he failed the imperial examination and was only given a ninth-rank honorary position... This person has a wealthy family, and most of the people he interacts with are so-called great scholars and celebrities."
"Confucianism!" Jiang Qingzhi sneered.
Xu Wei came and said, "My Lord, Yan Song and his son are furious about the assassination, throw it to them."
"Let's sit on the mountain and watch the fight, and bring in the Yan Party." Hu Zongxian stroked his beard and smiled, "Yan Song and his son just wanted to watch the fun, but they didn't expect that they would become the fun now. What a retribution!"
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head, "No need."
Xu Wei: “…”
Jiang Qingzhi said: "Call the guards and go out with me."
……
Most people who meet Guo Ran for the first time will envy his fair skin.
Long after getting married, the wife once said that when the two families were discussing marriage, she had secretly glanced at Guo Ran and was attracted by his fair skin.
"It's even whiter and more tender than a girl's!"
This is also Guo Ran's pride. For this reason, he sought out famous doctors and got some skin care recipes.
He must sleep for four hours every day. According to him, even if the sky falls, his sleep cannot be disturbed.
Guo Ran got up at noon. He sat in front of the dressing table, washed his face first, then applied a layer of secret skin care cream, and then a layer of sunscreen.
"The sun is a little strong. Never mind. I won't go out today."
Guo Ran looked at the fair and tender face in the bronze mirror and couldn't help feeling a little proud.
His wife stood behind him. Even though they had been married for many years, she was still intoxicated by the charm of this man.
Guo Ran got up and went out. A maid was waiting outside the door. "Sir, there are guests coming to visit."
Guo Ran went to the front and saw that the person coming was his good friend Wang Xian, so he smiled and said, "Are you here to have breakfast?"
"It's already noon." Wang Xian said with a smile.
The two entered the study.
"Sun Chonglou is not dead."
Wang Xian said in a deep voice, "The person you arranged failed."
"Did that woman fail?" Guo Ran said in surprise, "No, my people have been following Sun Chonglou for a long time and found that he likes to go to the Huguo Temple to watch acrobatics. Once he is engrossed in watching, he will ignore the people around him.
That woman is very skilled, and she was calculating without intention, so how could she fail? By the way, how did they determine that Sun Chonglou was not dead?"
"How would I know?" Wang Xian said, "They saw several imperial doctors carrying food boxes and walking out of Xin'an Lane with smiles on their faces."
"It is said that the food in Xin'an Lane is highly praised even by the palace. If Sun Chonglou was dead, Jiang Qingzhi would not have the time to send delicious food to the imperial physician. Damn it, that woman has misled me!"
Guo Ran slammed the table, and Wang Xian said, "They said that they would find a way to make Jiang Qingzhi unable to split up in the next month. Now that Sun Chonglou is fine, this matter has been messed up."
Guo Ran sat down, looking somewhat dejected. "What are those people planning?"
"I don't know. I heard some scattered words, such as not letting the Mo family and Jiang Qingzhi be proud, and making sure to ruin this matter..."
"Forget it, this is also God's will." Guo Ran called the servants, "Go find that woman quickly, tell her that the plan failed, and ask her to leave the capital immediately."
"Yes."
After the servant left, Wang Xian said, "If this fails, let them make another plan. We are powerful in the capital, so can't we keep Jiang Qingzhi?"
Guo Ran's face was solemn: "This is a life-and-death fight, don't underestimate it." After saying that, Guo Ran got up to change his clothes.
Wang Xian sipped his tea, pondered the process of this matter carefully, and sneered:
"What do you mean by life and death? Jiang Qingzhi and the Mo family only have so few people. To be honest, if I were to take charge, Jiang Qingzhi would have been ruined and died long ago."
"is it?"
Following this sound, the servants retreated backwards.
"Who?"
Wang Xian looked back.
A man stood outside the door.
"Uncle Ben Jiang Qingzhi!"
